Distilled water is good for cleanup and for mixing with the sanitizer. You'll want to add minerals to brew with as certain minerals lead to better beer.

I am in.

When your wife gives up her parking space in the garage so you can get your brewery out of the laundry room.

FastRack is Awesome!!

I am glad everything worked well for you. It seemed everyone really enjoyed your brew. That's great!

What kind of campground to you camp in that the sun never comes up? The sun is much brighter than any lightbulb in a house. What's this the light bulb can be put in a spotlight and taken outside or a mega candle power battery powered spotlight and taken camping damn that's a new invention...

In the same respect no one should use bottles at home either. You can drop it on the floor where it could break and leave glass shards for someone in your house to cut themselves on. Unless you want to spend hours collecting every microscopic piece so no one comes in contact with it in your...

If the glass in canning jars can hold a vacuum and most canning jars are also freeze rated which causes pressure, what makes you think the glass isn't strong enough to hold carbonation. There is alot of speculation with no backup. Then everyone jumps on the person who wants to test it. Also...

I made this with the original recipe. Awesome flavor. Definately use a plastic bottle to check carb level daily after 4 days. I left it for seven and it is overcarbed. Yours may or not be, but carb level needs to be watched.
